An enduring emblem of Warhol’s fascination with celebrity, Marilyn Monroe 25 (1967) presents the actress through his instantly recognisable Pop Art language. This 36 × 36-inch screenprint distils Monroe’s image into a striking meditation on fame, beauty, and media culture. Signed and numbered from an edition of 250, the work offers collectors a distinguished example of Warhol’s landmark Marilyn series and its lasting cultural resonance.
Marilyn Monroe 25 by Andy Warhol belongs to the landmark Marilyn series that helped define American Pop Art. It first appears in Warhol’s 1967 portfolio Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn), created from his now-iconic 1953 publicity photograph of Monroe. Produced after her death, the series turns celebrity, beauty, and mortality into a powerful study of fame and mass media. The repeated portrait suggests both glamour and fragility: Monroe becomes an image that can be endlessly reproduced, consumed, and remembered.
There is no recognized street-graffiti version. Warhol’s Marilyn works were created through studio screen-printing, decades before street art developed into its modern form.
For collectors, the Marilyn portfolios remain among Warhol’s most sought-after works. Rarity, edition, color combination, condition, signature, and provenance strongly influence value and demand. Marilyn Monroe 25 is especially compelling for collectors building a focused Pop Art collection.
From our gallery perspective, the work’s strength is its simplicity. Warhol takes a familiar face and makes it feel almost monumental.
Artistically, it sits at the heart of Warhol’s breakthrough 1960s period, alongside Campbell’s Soup Cans, Flowers, and his celebrity portraits. It remains a defining Warhol image—and a highly recognizable addition to a serious collection.
